Prince Harry 'has effectively lost most physical contact with his nearest and dearest,' says expert

Prince Harry has "lost contact" with his family and will struggle to ever rebuild their broken bond, an expert has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex now face a lot of hurdles if they hope to ever rejoin the Royal fold - especially if it was in a working capacity. Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker gave his damning verdict on their chances as he discussed the possibility.

He said: "In terms of the Windsor family, perhaps there's a situation where - if there's a lot of reconciling and a lot of talking - they could come to some kind of agreement or, at least, be a bit more civil than perhaps they have been in the last few years. In terms of becoming working members of the Royal Family again, I don't think it would be up to King Charles - look at the opinion polls of Harry and Meghan on both sides of the Atlantic."

Speaking as he co-hosted GB News' podcast The Royal Record alongside Royal Editor Svar Nanan-Sen he continued: "Let's just talk about the UK for now. They consistently poll, since the publication of the Netflix series and Harry's memoir Spare, at the very bottom... of the Royal Family - apart from Prince Andrew, who's slightly below them."

He then stressed how their lack of popularity with the public makes it even harder for them to be welcomed back to the family. He added: "That's a big problem, because if they become working members of the Royal Family again, it's taxpayers - it's us as the public - who would have to pay for their security, the staff travel, and all the rest of it."

He also highlighted how it seems highly unlikely that "Meghan wants to be a working member of the Royal Family again, because clearly she disliked it so much last time. She talked about it at length during the Oprah Winfrey interview," adding that he doesn't "see that happening."

Walker then admitted that Harry realistically no longer has any face-to-face contact with his family in a "sad" turn of events. He concluded: "I think it's very sad that Prince Harry has effectively lost most physical contact with his nearest and dearest, even if there's the occasional video call to Montecito."

The report comes after another Royal expert claimed that The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have become "irrelevant" to the remaining members of the Royal family according to the expert who says they are "running out of time." The comments from Richard Eden also stressed that Meghan and Harry are "not wanted" by the royal family.
